Staring at their drenched and rough clothes and their eyes which were looking at everything as if they were here for the first ti, the eyes of the server filled with disdain, he nodded and left them alone to look around.
"Have you ever tried your luck here before?" asked Leo as he took a step forward holding her hands tightly in his ti as he was not sure what would happen this imt when he would let her go.
Evan scanned the whole area with wide eyes. This was the first ti she had co to a place like that that was filled with man.
She could hardly see a few won that must have co with their husbands since they were standing closer to the n who were playing while they were like flower cases standing there beside them.
"No! This is not a place where a woman should be.` He raised a brow when she widened gently since this was the first ti she had accepted sothing that was unbeffeting to her.
"Since when have you started caring about such things? And it is not like we are addicted and here to change our luck. Take it as a new experience in your life." she raised a brow as she was not expecting him to encourage her to play.
No matter how she looked at it, it was a bane to society. Yet he was sauntering here as if it was not his first ti to co here.
"Have you been here before?" she asked as she was sure the way he scanned the whole room and then sat at one of the tables with confidence was not sothing one can do when he did not know how and what to play.
"No! But many of the soldiers play these kinds of gas with small bets in the borders.
We do not stay here only during the war but since the ti the chances of war being announced starts.
With the barren land and lack of towns around us, there are hardly things that could be used to keep your sanity in check.
I have tried a few bets and won most of them." though his tone was blank she was sure living in borders would have been difficult if they even lost their sanity sotis.
How many hardships he had borne there. She placed her hands on his shoulders and squeezed them as if she was trying to assure him that she was here with him. But he looked at her with a mysterious gaze and had an ambiguous smile on his face.
"If you are in the mood, you can tell . I am always ready to kiss you once again."
"........" forget that she was feeling bad for him. He was one of them who had lost their sanity. It is just that others around him have not realized it yet.
He teased her a bit more before turning his head to the table and concentrating on the ga.
"Number 8." he whispered as he took out a gold coin and then passed it on the table where two n were sitting in the centre.
One was placing the bets and collecting the money while the other threw two dice in his hands after shuffling them a few tis.
Soon, the dice rolled a few tis before stopping showing the number 5 and 3 on both which sum upto 8.
"Did we win?" Evan clapped in surprise as she was not hoping that she would win since they both are novice and have no idea of playing.
Looking at the coins that have changed to 5 from one. Her eyes shone with gold as she shook Leo, forgetting how much pressure she should use.
"That was fabulous. Why don't you try one more with more coins this ti?" He raised his head and stared at her excited face. Though he knew from the start that she would be joyous after seeing so many coins, he still felt surprised when he felt her enthusiasm.
"You should know that gambling in a sin. If you beco addicted to it, you can lose everything here. This is not a good place to be.
You should always do hard work to earn money." she puffed up her cheeks but had nothing to refute.
It is an addictive ga and she could not deny that she felt great when she won the ga but she nodded and did not force him to play further.
"Look how they are throwing the man out!"
"Tsk! He never listens. He is always in a hurry to beco rich. That was why he often lost and got beaten or thrown out."
"Yes, but recently he is bringing more gold coins as if he had won a lottery. I wonder why he did not cherish it and still co to play here!" Before the next ga could start, all of them started whispering while looking at the door.
Evan who followed their gaze and turned to look at the man who was still struggling there was shocked and she shook Leo again who frowned.
He glared at her only to notice that she was looking shocked and followed her eyes.
Ethan who was still begging to play one more ga even when his coins had already ended fell on the ground when one of the guards felt irked by his continuous pleading.
"I did not understand a man like you. We throw you out daily yet you have no sha!" He stared at Ethan as if he was a pest that was troubling them before the other knights picked him up and threw out of the door.
Without caring about rain or storm, they closed the door to make sure that he could not co back.
With a cold look on his face Leo stood up, though he did not like Ethan, he could not bear that his old brother was treated like a pest in front of these lowly commoners. But before he could move further Evan held his hands and stopped him, making him frown fuhrer,
"Your presence would only make him more embarrassed!"
